    Money solves money problems. Money is everything untill you have enough and after that having more of it makes hardly a difference. I can totally understand why a poor person wants to become rich. However, I don’t quite understand why an already rich person wants to become even richer.

          Of, relating to, or manifesting behavior that is habitual, maladaptive, and compulsive.

          Seems like a perfect use of the term to me. Unless you believe it’s some undefinable supernatural force. I think it’s an addiction just like hoarding anything else.
